About the Business
Every single cup of coffee is made individually, only after it has been ordered - never before - through various brew methods and a rotating seasonal coffee menu from leading roasters around North America. Every coffee available on the menu (and many that are not) are put to the test every week in a blind tasting that determines whether or not it will be offered the following week. This insures that only the best tasting coffees of the moment are being served. No variable is left unmeasured as every detail in the brewing process is closely monitored using various scales, timers, and ratios - the key to providing consistency. From using exposed plumbing and electrical, to the open laboratory styled brewing bar, through to using glass instead of traditional ceramics, the cafe is designed to provide full transparency both in design and in the experience. In the end, Revolver is about two things: coffee, and the experience that should come with it.

Very unique atmosphere, staff and coffee. Revolver in general is just a great place to experience - a must if you are in the Vancouver area. They have great coffee and tea. If you're looking to expand your palette, learn something new about coffee (or tea) and just experience some fantastic flavors, go check out Revolver. The prices are a bit higher than most coffee shops, but it's worth it if you want to experience something tasty, new and enlightening. During your visit you might be like, "Coffee can taste like this? And this good?!" Try any of the espressos or pour overs on rotation if you don't know where to start. The staff will take good care of you. Date rating is 4 out of 5.

Well, what can I say that has not already been said about this amazing coffee shop.
Revolver is a destination coffee shop for visitors and Vancouver residents who have the privilege of having the best coffee shop, period.
The variety of coffee, the care and training the baristas have taken to make you a perfect cup every time is just unheard of.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Christopher B.Houston, TXJul 20, 2024
Great coffee. Went 4 days in a row. Had the espresso flight, drip and a few different pour overs (Luna was my fav) and all were great. Very strong. Good pastries but they typically don't arrive until 8am. Friendly staff.
Highly recommend, especially if you're in the Gastown area.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 16, 2024
one of vancouver's most well known coffee shops, super quaint and warm inside!
just had a typical ice latte and would give it a solid 3/5 but the service was excellent and therefore i rate 4/5 stars. i definitely am not a coffee person but creamer always saves the day for me :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 10, 2024

Discovered a gem of a coffee shop yesterday. The latte I ordered was nothing short of perfection - the coffee boasted rich fruity aromas and nutty undertones, creating a complex flavor profile. The milk foam was silky smooth, adding a luxurious touch.
The baristas were friendly, making me feel right at home. What made the experience truly magical was sipping this delightful brew while basking in the warm afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows.
For anyone seeking top-notch coffee in a chill atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Absolutely five-star worthy!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 17, 2024
The coffee here was delightfully rich in flavour. I usually go for low-acidity options, but even the dark roast, despite its noticeable acidity, was quite enjoyable. We arrived just as they were opening, so coffee was the only thing on the menu - not that I'm complaining. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe, perfect for easing into the day. Service was friendly and efficient, which is always a bonus.

The coffee here lives up to the hype! It was my first stop after landing in Vancouver and the space is so cozy and perfect for working and spending some quality time. I got an oat milk latte and it was smooth, balanced and creamy. Also got a scone which was good but I wish they warmed it.
Overall, highly recommend stopping by Revolver if you're looking for high quality coffee and a place to work or read from.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Aug 12, 2023
This is quintessential Vancouver in a coffee cup. The quintessence of ground coffee in Gastown--the ground zero of "Van City." It isn't much. It is small, but fierce, and sits on a slanted street that spills downhill and into the tourist-trapping Water Street. It's steam milk transcending itself from the espresso makers to the top of the infamous steam clock, that melodically blows, like clockwork, every 15 minutes. Literally, it blows, like Ol' Faithful.
Instant authenticity comes to any coffee shop that rocks brick and mortar. This is authentic. There is an international Beatnik vibe here. Yet, there are no open mic night advertisements on the windows, slam poetry pieces pasted on the wall, or dirty, tin ashtrays sitting next to bean bags. But, yet, this place is groovy.
The coffee is the coffee here. Come for the coffee. Stay for the culture. You can buy it by the bag, with different ounces offered dictating the size of the bag. The pounds of beans come from what seems to be all four corners of the earth. Grab a bag or two. Walk it home and enjoy a conversation together. Better yet, let impatience be your guide and order in, watch them make you a single cup. Then add the typical toppings to it, as if it were a liquid pizza.
It's fun. It's a bit unique. It's an experience. It seems a bit cultural. More than any other coffee haus in the area. Revolver is Vancouver in a paper cup.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0 - Jun 19, 2023
Really flavorful coffee. Such a sweet find in the city. They offer exceptional coffee-- drip, espresso, pour-over... and even flights. I tried their espresso-latte flight and it was a great way to sample the different aroma notes in the beans. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
They also offer wifi and have an abundance of seating in the coffee shop which makes it a great place to do some work. It was my first time in Vancouver and I needed to access the internet-- I realized not many coffee spots offer wifi over here.
Overall, it was the best coffee experience I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Vancouver!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Jul 29, 2023
This was a nice pit stop in the rain.
The chocolate croissant was surprisingly good.
It's a very cute coffee shop. If I lived in Vancouver, I would frequent this shop.
Recommend stopping by for the pastries and coffee.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
